or did you just decide
that you alone of all those whose
hearts too may seize and
stutter
can taste that that air filtered free that
hair clinging in tufts with the effort of
knowing you alone
can taste that then call it love?
Will you ever stop
or will you scream till your neck’s paper and straw
without dropping your guard to
let in even in
tatters
the hope that one day there’ll
be time for you too to lean in open
your starved lips to those perfect so unlike your own
because without them you’re less everything that is you
